Unsurprisingly, the Myprotein product catalog tends to emphasize protein powders, protein bars, and protein-rich snack foods. This marks them as a little different in the sports supplement industry, where almost every new company gives us a pre-workout formula for their first product launch.
However – it’d be a mistake to sleep on Myprotein’s pre-workout game. In recent years, Myprotein has proven that their pre-workout formulas are quite popular, especially with The Pre-Workout, which comes out of their pro range and has just 150 milligrams of caffeine per serving.
Last year, Myprotein extended their pre-workout lineup with The Pre-Workout THERMO, a fat burner pre-workout hybrid formula. This product is similarly low-stim – just 150 milligrams, which is a welcome change of pace in an industry where every pre-workout seems to have 300 or more per serving.
The name THERMO is due to the thermogenic ingredients inside that increase the number of calories your body burns as heat.
It also has some lipolytic ingredients to help your body mobilize fatty acids – this not only aids with weight loss, but can also have ergogenic effects, improving athletic performance by increasing the amount of energy that your cells have available to burn. Caffeine itself falls into this category.
The Pre-Workout Thermo is back with new flavors
When a supplement is geared towards people trying to lose weight and it has a spice inside, excellent flavors are especially important: better taste helps adherence, both to diet and workout plan.
That’s why we’re stoked that Myprotein has two new flavors for THERMO: Berry and Watermelon. We published a full-length review of THERMO that you can read at the following link: Myprotein The Preworkout THERMO: Fat Burning Pre that Doesn’t Break the Bank.
Below we show our flavor review and recap the ingredients, But first, check the availability of all of the flavors in case you want to stick with the original Peach Mango variation:

The Pre-Workout Thermo Ingredient Recap
A one scoop serving of THERMO from Myprotein gives you the following ingredients:
-
L-Citrulline – 4 g
Citrulline is an awesome nitric oxide (NO) booster. You want more NO before a workout because of its ability to trigger vasodilation: the expansion of your arterial diameter, which improves circulation and with it, oxygen and nutrient delivery, which can boost athletic performance. Waste removal is also optimized by vasodilation, leading to faster recovery following exercise.
-
Beta Alanine – 2 g
A precursor to carnosine, one of the molecules that removes lactic acid (lactate) from muscle tissue. Because it improves lactate clearance, beta alanine can boost athletic endurance.
-
N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine – 750 mg
Tyrosine is an awesome precursor to dopamine, adrenaline, and other neurotransmitters, meaning it can help improve your focus, motivation, and perhaps even cognitive performance (especially if you’re sleep deprived).
-
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate (LCLT) – 500 mg
Carnitine is a potent ATP-boosting ingredient, helping your cells burn fat for energy as it helps transport fatty acids to the mitochondria for fat burning. LCLT is a form that has been specifically shown to increase the number and sensitivity of androgen receptors in muscle tissue, thus amplifying the anabolic effects of testosterone.
-
Caffeine Anhydrous – 150mg
Caffeine is an awesome ingredient for pre-workout formulas because of its ability to fight fatigue through adenosine inhibition. It also increases your body’s rate of fat burning, partially because it inhibits phosphodiesterase, thus increasing levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). More energy means better performance, which is why caffeine is classified as an ergogenic aid.
-
Green Coffee Extract (50% Chlorogenic Acid) – 100mg
An excellent source of chlorogenic acid, which can block glucose absorption while increasing fat burning and fighting fatty liver.
-
Theacrine (as TeaCrine) – 50mg
Similar to caffeine, but without any cardiovascular effects.
-
Coleus forskohlii (Root) Extract (10% Forskolin) – 50mg
Awesome testosterone booster that, like caffeine, increases energy expenditure through cAMP upregulation.
-
Garcinia cambogia (Fruit) Extract (50% Hydroxycitric Acid) – 50mg
By inhibiting the adenosine triphosphate citrate lyase enzyme, garcinia can prevent fat storage, while also controlling blood sugar and suppressing appetite.
-
CaloriBurn GP Grains of Paradise (Aframomum melegueta) (Seed) Extract (12.5% 6-Paradol) – 25 mg
One of PricePlow’s all-time favorite fat burning ingredients, this blockbuster from NNB Nutrition is designed to increase the percentage of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in your fat stores, which ultimately drives thermogenesis as BAT is the site of mitochondrial uncoupling. Put simply, more BAT means more calories burned every day as heat – an awesome thing for anyone trying to shed those extra pounds.
We love CaloriBurn especially because it’s standardized for a high concentration of 6-paradol, the bioactive constituent of Aframomum melegueta that’s very responsible for converting white adipose tissue (WAT) to BAT. However, it also has the three other active constituents in 6-gingerol, 6-shogaol, and 6-gingerdione.
-
AstraGin – 25mg
Bioavailability enhancer that increases the effectiveness of all the other ingredients.
-
BioPerine (Black Pepper Fruit Extract) – 2.5mg
Bioavailability enhancer, antioxidant, and little-known metabolic enhancer.
Using a lower dose of caffeine comes with many potential advantages – besides just appealing to a broader audience (most people don’t want to take 300 milligrams of caffeine in one sitting!), it also allows consumers to combine THERMO with other products, or increase the dose beyond a single scoop.
All available The Pre-Workout Thermo flavors
In our opinion, the berry flavor tastes like mixed berries – giving you the variety of tastes that you might be craving on a restrictive diet. Watermelon is pretty self-explanatory: and an awesome choice for a supplement with lots of citrulline, since large amounts of citrulline occur naturally in watermelon.
Between the awesome flavor and the giant boost in your nitric oxide production, THERMO’s watermelon flavor will give you the great watermelon experience, without the calories.
